Getting out of the spin cycle!

Getting out of the Spin Cycle!
The Reading is from Luke 10:38-42, 11:27-28
At that time, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her." As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!" But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
We read of Martha today.  She wanted to serve.  In the midst of her service she feels overwhelmed.  The Greek text is very instructive  and brings out the true state of her emotions.  This is what happens when we do not sit first at the feet of Jesus.

Jesus  said, “Martha you are careful (merimnas),  troubled (turbaneis) .” Luke said she  was periespasato  about her service.  She said, “lord don’t you care (ouk  melei  soi)”

Not spending time with the Lord we experience 4 things,

1.Anxiety
2. Spinning about-  we get on spin cycle so to speak.  This is the word for a turbine.
3.We are broken up in our attention.
4.We become bitter about others- feeling  we are the only ones serving God.

Let’s  get out of the spin  cycle-  tossed to and fro with cares  broken  inside, and thinking we’re doing it all and just stare in the Face of the Lord  and enjoy His Presence.
